Bacallà is the Catalan word for salt-cured cod, derived from Latin 'bacalaurius'. 'A la llauna' means 'in the tin', referring to the traditional shallow metal pan used for baking the dish.
Memory Aid
Break the phrase down: 'bacallà' is cod, 'llauna' is the tin it's baked in — so it means cod in a tin.
